How To Enjoy FM Stereo

• Select Stations Within Range -  The best FM fidelity will be obtained from stations within a 16-64 km (10-40 mile) range. Beyond that range "noise" or "flutter" may begin to appear due to the "line of sight" range limitations of FM signals.

  Solution:  Reduce treble response by moving the treble control to a lower setting in fringe areas.

• Realize Tall Structures Can Interfere -  Tall buildings or hills may cause "shadows" or cancellation of FM signals. This is similar to the "ghost" or "flutter" effect seen on television sometimes when airplanes are flying in the vicinity. It will sound like a "pop" or momentary "hiss."

  Solution:  Reduce the treble to a lower setting.

• Interference From Another Station -  Although the circuits in receivers are the most advanced available, there are rare instances where a station being listened to will be interfered with by another station. This only happens when the stations are on almost the same frequency and certain geographical criteria are present.

  Solution:  Select another station or switch to tape.
